City leaf programs wind down in early December, so book before the leaves pile up.

City leaf program or Wade's?
Many Quad Cities cities collect leaves in the fall. That is a good option if you are happy to do the raking and bagging yourself. Dates and rules change every year, so check your city.
If you use your city's program
- Rock Island: free leaf bags and collection, October 12 to December 3, 2026, up to 20 bags a day, leaves only (city page)
- Davenport: fall no-sticker yard waste weeks, otherwise $1.60 per bag, in Kraft paper bags at your regular pickup spot (city page)
- Moline: a leaf vacuum program plus bagged leaves on trash day; check the city for 2026 dates
- Bettendorf: check the city’s yard waste page for fall dates and bag rules
Leaf burning is banned in Rock Island and Moline.
If you hire Wade's
You get your weekend back. The raking, loading and hauling happen without you, which helps most with large or heavily wooded yards, a busy schedule, or when your city’s window has closed.
- No raking or bagging on your side
- Beds and borders included
- A free quote before any work

Leaf removal Quad Cities FAQ
How much does leaf removal cost in the Quad Cities?
It depends on your lot size, how many trees you have, how deep the leaves are and how many visits you want. We quote every property for free, so you know the price before we start. Our leaf removal cost guide explains what moves the price.
Do you haul the leaves away?
Yes. Our leaf removal Quad Cities service takes the leaves with us, so you do not end up with piles at the curb or leaves blowing onto a neighbor’s lawn.
Do I need to rake first?
No. You do not need to rake or bag anything. Make sure we can reach the yard, and tell us about any areas to avoid, such as new plantings.
Can I just mulch the leaves into my lawn?
Sometimes. Landscape experts at the University of Iowa say chopped leaves feed the lawn, but whole leaves can form mats that smother grass, and heavy cover is better collected. See our leaf mulching vs bagging guide.
What happens if I leave leaves on the lawn all winter?
Leaves left in a mat can smother grass, and Iowa State University Extension lists raking up fallen leaves in the fall as a way to reduce snow mold. Clearing them before the first heavy snow protects the lawn.
When should leaf removal be done?
Once most of the leaves have dropped, and before the first heavy snow. City leaf programs here run into early December, so if you want the work done for you, book early. Yards with heavy tree cover often do better with more than one visit than one big cleanup at the end.
Does the city pick up leaves?
Often, yes. Rock Island offers free leaf bags and collection, Moline runs a leaf vacuum program, and Davenport has no-sticker yard waste weeks each fall. Programs and dates change every year, so check your city. If you would rather not do the raking and bagging yourself, that is what we are for.
Can I burn leaves instead?
Not in Rock Island or Moline, where burning leaves and yard waste is banned. Rules differ by city, so check yours before you burn anything.
Do you offer leaf removal for businesses, HOAs and property managers?
Yes. We quote commercial properties individually, either as a one-time cleanup or as scheduled visits through fall. Call (309) 235-9237 to talk through your property.
Do you offer leaf removal near me in Davenport, Bettendorf or Moline?
Yes. We serve Davenport, Bettendorf, Moline, Rock Island, East Moline, Silvis, Coal Valley, Milan, Preemption and Sherrard. Call (309) 235-9237 to confirm your address.
Can you also clean my gutters and do other fall work?
Yes. Wade’s also handles gutter cleaning, seasonal cleanup and lawn mowing, so one company can take care of the whole yard in the fall.
